Schematic and PCB share

Today I want to talk about Schematic and PCB layout share. Joker Eco-System is not only Open Source, but Open Hardware too, and I want to start with the most ready module first – “Joker TV” (stand alone version). I have started an evaluation of Upverter project for Schematic&PCB sharing. You can open this link (opens in new tab) to observe “Joker TV” Schematic&PCB. Be patient though, as it can take about 2 minutes to load and display the project. After all you should see the PCB layout like on the screenshot below. You can also use the top menu to switch to a schematic view.

Project collaboration

“Joker TV” project can be forked inside Upverter. This allows collaboration between engineers on Joker Eco-System. But I need your opinion. If you have any actual hardware design experience please vote below:

Is upverter.com suitable for collaboration on Joker Eco-System hardware ?

What made you use an “expensive” FPGA with a separate USB PHY instead of one of the chips that are commonly used in cheap USB TV sticks? IIRC there are even USB chips with an internal demod that allow connection of a second demod.
